Weston Olencki is an artist and musician from South Carolina, living now in Berlin. Their projects position musical instruments as sites of cultural inscription, working fluidly between experimental sound, traditional musics, and their various space/time(s). In support of their recent LP release Broadsides (Outside Time, 2025), Weston will perform a set on electromechanical banjo. Olencki’s interpretation of the bluegrass standard “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” captures the euphoria of melancholy in motion. The permutational plucks of banjo are bounced around...the tonalities of old-time are smeared and stretched until all that’s audible is the insistence that Heaven might be real.
Kyle Eyre Clyd is a Birmingham area artist who has performed at Issue Project Room, Pioneer Works, and The Stone among other venues. Her recent sets use a combo of crystal singing bowls and electronics to create a mesmerizing field of tonal colors.
Catsup Jubilee is an experimental puppet show about cats celebrating the bountiful harvest of mutant fish in Mobile Bay! Among other things, for sure! Created by a collaboration of several friends, this unique performance will include over 20 puppets!

i'm a teenage rice field by walker yancey
walker yancey is a recording artist from Birmingham, AL. “i’m a teenage rice field” is the first official solo release under the name walker yancey. It was recorded in a studio apartment on the same type of 4 track they started on nearly 20 years ago.
Having spent the last decade making elliptical music through the projects Lil White Bitch, Flusnoix, Vernal Scuzz, and Zenosyne, “i’m a teenage rice field” finds walker returning to the same instruments and methods they started with as a preteen. Drifting through multiple genres, and conjuring different impressions, it manages to elude singular definition at all costs, and trust that the listener’s interpretation is as valid as it’s own. Meaning be damned, the release reads like a mixtape from the moon to the night, calling on the listener to come out into the fog, into the mystery, never knowing what might lay just up ahead…
“i’m a teenage rice field“ will be available on a limited run of white label vinyl.
All 100 copies will be marked with a drop of blood, 30 of which will have a four leaf clover inside. Pre-orders available here !
